Strategic Account Management (SAM): In-House Training 

Imparta’s Strategic Account Management (SAM) programme sets itself apart from other courses by focusing on the questions you need answered, instead of on a linear process. Account management and planning often leads to large amounts of data being collected. However, those who collect this data often have little clarity on which parts of the data provides the most useful insights for the account. As a result, once them are completed, these collections are rarely used and the salesperson tends to revert back managing the account reactively.

To develop this SAM programme, Imparta has combined their knowledge and experience in the strategy and sales fields. The course can be easily integrated with Imparta's award winning opportunity management programme, Creating Client Value (CCV), and shares the same customer focused philosophy, encouraging and enabling clear reporting between teams working with new business and account management. This SAM programme introduces your employees to a well-defined process and interactive toolkit that will allow them to easily track, monitor and create account plans.
